Before I took office, I set a big goal of administering 100 million shots in the first 100 days. With the progress we’re making I believe we’ll not only reach that, we’ll break it.

Britain begins quarantining travelers in hotels, seeking to keep out new virus variants.

People flying into England from South Africa, Brazil and 31 other countries deemed by Britain to be hot spots for coronavirus variants will be required starting Monday to complete a 10-day quarantine in a government-sanctioned hotel, costing nearly $2,500 for a single adult. Travelers from elsewhere are required to quarantine at home for 10 days.

Scotland is requiring all international air passengers, no matter where from, to isolate on arrival in a government-sanctioned hotel.

The compulsory quarantined hotel stays, which include meals, security guards and virus testing, bring Britain in line with similar requirements in some of the countries that have been praised for their virus response, such as Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Britain, by contrast, has suffered one of the world’s worst coronavirus outbreaks in terms of deaths per capita. The country is under a monthslong lockdown to tame a huge surge in cases caused by a virus variant, first detected in southeastern England, which is more transmissible and potentially deadlier than others. But the available vaccines have shown evidence of being able to protect against the variant first detected there. Some vaccines have shown diminished efficacy against the variant first seen in South Africa.

Britain is vaccinating rapidly, with first doses already given to more than a fifth of the population. At a news conference on Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the vaccination campaign “an unprecedented national achievement” but warned that the threat from the virus remains dire [....]

Vaccinated people tend to carry less virus in their bodies than unvaccinated people, studies show. That's good news for reducing transmission. https://t.co/smWAeGaZAu

Kim Ogg ran for district attorney as a criminal justice reformer. Maybe she should think about what that entails.https://t.co/2a3RbgVngQ

TRUMP WAS SICKER THAN ACKNOWLEDGED WITH COVID-19

By artappraiser on Thu, 02/11/2021 - 6:58pm |

because the old COVID NEWS thread had scrolled too far away:

Nice, Covid knocked off the front page 2 1/2 days ago, and then it's about Trump.
Glad we got that pandemic under control & are on to better, more important things.

Fascinating. In-person tech conference tested participants before and *every day*, still got 43% covid-infected. None of the 49 participants wore masks.

The support staff who had to wear masks: no infections. https://t.co/kOKPkhnXjS
